GEORGE  L.  (TEX)  RICKARD 

President,  Madison  Square  Garden  Corporation 


g^genius  who,  from  the  old  Garden  he  loved  so  well, 
caught  the  inspiration  of  its  creators — White,  Vander- 
bilt,  Belmont  and  Morgan,  the  elder — and  restored  the 
brilliancy  which  had  been  their  ideal.  So,  when  the  old 
Garden  passed  into  history,  its  spirit  lived  through  him. 
He  has  "carried  on"  to  meet  the  ever-growing  needs  of 
the  American  public  for  such  a  place  of  assembly  and 
has  given,  to  fulfill  that  need,  not  only  to  the  extent  of 
his  own  resources,  but  to  the  limit  of  human  endeavor 
— with  untiring  energy  and  indomitable  courage,  through 
almost  insurmountable  difficulties,  he  has  created  a  new 
and  even  greater  Madison  Square  Garden.

HAYDEN,  STONE  &  CO. 

NEW  YORK  BOSTON 


THE  EIGHTH  AVENUE  RAILROAD  COMPANY 

extends  its  greetings  to  the  Madison  Square  Garden 
Corporation  and  its  patrons  on  the  opening  of  its  great 
amusement  building,  which  is  a  credit  to  the  City  and 
destined  to  be  the  scene  of  many  notable  events. 


/OR  70  years  the  street  cars  of  the  Eighth  Avenue  Railroad  Company 
have  been  passing  this  point,  serving  the  people  and  doing  their 
part  in  the  upbuilding  of  the  great  City  of  New  York. 

On  the  site  of  this  great  amusement  building  were  the  car  barns  of  the 
Railroad  Company,  then  the  upper  terminus  of  its  line.  In  olden  days 
they  housed  200  horse  cars  and  1,200  horses.  The  tracks  of  the  Company 
were  extended  north  as  the  City  grew,  until  they  reached  the  Harlem 
River.  Few  passengers  realize  the  large  investment  and  constantly  in- 
creasing expense  of  present  modern  electric  street  cars  operated  on  the 
underground  electric  conduit  tracks.  The  operation  of  a  modern  car 
requires  a  larger  plot  of  land,  machine,  electric  and  carpenter  shops,  and 
a  small  army  of  trained  electricians  and  mechanics,  to  say  nothing  of  the 
maintenance  men  constantly  working  on  the  tracks  at  surface  and  under- 
ground, and  the  motormen  and  conductors  in  charge  of  the  cars. 

With  all  this  large  investment  and  expense  of  maintenance  and  operation, 
it  still  is  the  concensus  of  opinion  of  experts,  that  the  modern  electric  street 
car  is  the  best  and  cheapest  method  of  transporting  large  numbers  of  pas- 
sengers under  conditions  prevailing  in  the  Borough  of  Manhattan  of  the 
City  of  New  York. 

The  cars  are  at  the  door,  at  your  service,  to  take  you  north  to  Harlem 
River,  or  south  to  Cortlandt  Street,  and  the  Company  solicits  your  pat- 
ronage.

"The  service  rendered  us  by  the  Stewarts  has  been 
highly  satisfactory." 

"They  started  work  last  February  while  our  plans 
were  still  vague;  saved  time  and  money  for  us  by 
their  able  cooperation  with  the  Architect  and,  by 
their  intelligent  and  vigorous  handling  of  the  job 
have  made  us  confident  our  building  will  be  ready 
on  time." 

"They  have  been  conscientious  and  conservative  in 
their  expenditures  and  economicalin  their  methods'.'

tax  laws  of  different  states  and  the  varying  rates  of  taxes  imposed. 
The  booklet  also  makes  clear  how  a  readjustment  of  security  hold- 
ings often  results  in  helping  investors  to  solve  this  perplexing  prob- 
lem without  sacrificing  safety  of  principal,  amount  of  income,  mar- 
ketability, or  probability  of  increase  in  value. 

Booklet  entitled  "How  to  Invest  Your  Money' 

This  Booklet,  edited  by  experts  in  investment  and  finance,  and  issued 
by  The  Better  Business  Bureau  of  New  York  City,  is  to  be  regarded 
as  an  authoritative  discussion  of  factors  of  uppermost  importance 
in  investing  money  with  wisdom  and  discrimination.

This  circular  is  issued  by  us  monthly  for  the  convenience  of  inves-

THE  above  literature  is  supplemented  by  our  facilities  for  analyzing 
for  investors  their  security  holdings  and  making  suggestions  as  to 
any  readjustments  which  may  seem  advisable  from  the  standpoint  of 
safety,  marketability,  income  return  or  other  pertinent  factors.

JiADlSON  SQUARE 
^  QARDEN'S 

JMajor  *I(pll  in  the  Life  and 
Traditions 
of  TS[ew  Yor\  City 


By 

L.  E.  CURTIS 


I  ities  throughout  the  world  are  famous  for  the 
structures  which  time  and  tradition  have  made 
a  part  of  their  life  and  history.  Rome  with  her  crumbling 
Colosseum,  Paris  dominated  o'er  by  the  gigantic  Eiffel 
Tower,  London  with  the  gay  and  sparkling  Covent 
Garden,  are  synonymous.  The  Leaning  Tower  of  Pisa 
is  more  noted  than  the  city  of  its  site.  In  many  respects 
Madison  Square  Garden  and  New  York  are  the  New 
World  examples  of  traditional  land  marks.  The  mere 
mention  of  Madison  Square  Garden  in  any  cosmopoli- 
tan city  of  the  world  is  equivalent  to  referring  to  the 
metropolis  of  America.  Such  prestige  and  place  in 
tradition  are  not  merely  a  matter  of  chance  or  condi- 
tion. There  seems  in  every  instance  to  have  been  a 
special  background,  an  atmosphere  pungently  redolent 
of  the  past  and  propitiously  suggestive  of  the  greater 
things  to  come. 

A  history  of  the  events  presided  over  by  this  Moorish 
mass  of  architecture  might  well  be  called  an  American 
epic.  Primarily  it  was  built  by  the  people,  for  the 
people,  and  for  over  a  quarter  of  a  century,  the  echo 
of  its  activities  made  the  history  of  American  life.  Here 
throbbed  the  pulse  of  a  nation,  at  work  as  well  as  at 
play.  Madison  Square  Garden  was  the  supreme  court 
of  the  people,  with  the  public  as  a  jury  of  selection. 


Here,  one  might  have  his  chicken,  his  dog,  his  horse, 
or  his  cattle,  proclaimed  the  blue  ribbon  winner.  Here 
there  were  contests  of  brain  as  well  as  brawn — the  ring- 
ing oratory  of  a  William  Jennings  Bryan,  the  super- 
human hitting  power  of  a  Jack  Dempsey.  Here  the 
people  of  a  great  city  gathered  to  hear  the  war-time 
address  of  Woodrow  Wilson  and  answered  the  call  to 
muster  arms.  Here  one  might  demonstrate  his  prowess 
as  a  cake-walker  or  a  diva;  a  Paderewski  or  a  Patti. 

That  history  repeats  itself,  there  is  no  doubt.  Madi- 
son Square  Garden  has  come  and  gone,  and  a  new 
structure  replaces  it.  Madison  Square  used  to  be 
thought  of  as  up-town  and  now,  relatively  speaking,  it 
is  down-town.  P.  T.  Barnum,  the  famous  old  show- 
man, conceived  the  original  idea  of  the  old  Garden, 
and  now,  Ringling,  his  successor,  is  vitally  a  part  of 
the  new  Garden. 

"Once  upon  a  time,''  seems  the  only  logical  intro- 
duction to  this  sketch  of  old  New  York  with  its  ram- 
bling frame  dwellings  and  wagon-track  roadways.  It 
is  difficult  even  to  imagine  the  day  when  Madison 
Square  Park  was  the  Potter's  Field  of  New  York, 
selected  because  it  was  an  undesirable  tract,  w  ay  up 
in  the  country  and  out  of  the  way.  Years  later,  after 
the  Square  had  been  parked,  it  became  the  exclusive

residential  section  of  the  city — the  mecca  of  the  Madi- 
sons,  Van  Rensselaers,  and  Astors,  who  controlled  the 
socially  elite  set  of  the  city. 

For  many  years  after  1831,  the  northeast  corner  of 
the  Square  was  the  passenger  station  of  the  New  York 
and  Harlem  Railway.  After  it  was  abandoned  by  the 
Railroad,  the  property  remained  idle  for  a  few  seasons, 
until  in  1873,  P.  T.  Barnum,  the  famous  showman, 
seized  upon  the  opportunity  of  erecting  here  a  Roman 
Hippodrome,  a  plan  which  he  had  cherished  for  years. 
In  order  to  protect  the  large  tents,  he  had  four  walls 
constructed  and  let  the  big  canvas,  for  circus  atmos- 
phere, serve  as  a  roof.  Here  he  came  on  his  annual  pil- 
grimages each  season  to  delight  the 
people  of  New  York  with  the  wild- 
est animals,  the  most  daring  and 
dazzling  feats,  the  tiniest,  the  tall- 
est, the  fattest,  and  the  leanest 
curiosities  he  could  recruit. 

During  the  summer  months  the 
interior  was  decorated  to  resemble 
a  garden  and  here  one  might  pon- 
der over  delicate  refreshments  to 
the  lithesome  refrains  of  a  Theo- 
dore  Thomas  orchestra  or  the 
measured  tread  of  a  hundred-piece 
military  band  conducted  by  Pat- 
rick S.  Gilmore.    Here,   in  this 
enormous,  casually  developed  bar- 
rack, the-  great  revival  spectacle 
conducted  by  Moody  and  Sankey 
was  held,  shortly  after  their  trium- 
phant return  from  Europe  in  1875.  Tex  Rickard 
Gradually,  as  the  importance  of 
mass  entertainments  and  exhibits  increased,  the  old 
structure  was  found  uncomfortably  inadequate  and  in 
1889  the  first  ground  was  broken  for  the  new  three- 
million  dollar  structure. 

In  passing,  a  word  of  tribute  and  indebtedness  must 
go  to  Stanford  White,  then  a  young  man  of  thirty-six, 
who  had  already  been  heralded  as  a  great  architect.  To 
him  was  entrusted  the  commission  of  designing  New 
York's  great  play  palace.  Stanford  White  had  roved 
extensively  and  the  architecture  of  the  Old  World  in- 
spired him  to  revive  it  in  the  New.  Working  with  an 
unsuppressed  freedom  and  colossal  appeal  to  the  people 
for  greater  appreciation  of  architecture,  it  has  been 
said  of  his  work  that  "his  buildings  were  seen  and  ad- 
mired by  all  classes  from  the  man  in  the  street  to  the 
millionaire"  and  surely  this  was  true  of  Madison 
Square  Garden. 

Architecturally,  it  was  a  magnificent  structure,  sim- 
ply styled  in  the  Renaissance  manner,  of  buff-colored 
brick  and  terra  cotta.  The  flat  roof  was  broken  by  a 
series  of  colonnades,  cupolas,  domes  and  a  magnificent 
tower  derived  from  the  Giralda  in  Seville,  surmounted 
by  St.  Gaudens'  figure  of  Diana.  Half  way  around  the 
building  was  an  open  arcade  supported  by  massive 
pillars  of  polished  granite.  The  only  elaborately  decora- 


tive feature  of  the  building  was  a  relief  arch  in  terra 
cotta  above  the  main  entrance. 

Owned  by  the  Madison  Square  Garden  Company, 
among  the  stockholders  were  J.  Pierpont  Morgan, 
James  T.  Woodward,  Charles  Lanier,  Alfred  B.  Dar- 
ling, Hiram  Hitchcock,  Darius  O.  Mills,  Charles 
Crocker,  and  Adolph  Ladenburg. 

But  let  us  turn  back  to  the  evening  of  June  16,  1890. 
For  weeks  a  night  and  day  shift  have  been  alternating 
at  work  around  the  building  and  everywhere  there  is  a 
restless  and  curious  excitement.   The  great  Eduard 
Strauss  of  Vienna  has  been  induced  to  journey  here  for 
the  opening  and  present  the  music  which  his  family  has 
made  immortal.  Every  seat  and 
inch  of  standing  room  has  been  sold 
for  days  in  advance  of  the  opening 
— this  is  to  be  not  only  a  great 
music  festival,  but  the  debut,  as 
well,  of  New  York's  great  acquisi- 
tion, Madison  Square  Garden,  now 
to  be  proudly  flaunted  along  with 
Central  Park,  Brooklyn  Bridge, 
and  the  new  Aqueduct.  As  early 
as  seven  o'clock  the  line  for  stand- 
ing room  has  been  forming  and  at 
eight-thirty,  one  can  trace  its  zig- 
zag course  half  around  the  block. 
It  is  shortly  after  eight  and  the 
surge  of  elegantes  has  commenced, 
arriving  in  open  Victorias  and 
broughams,  with  the  liveried  foot- 
man and  coachman  presiding  over 
as  a  Cowboy  the  stable's 

prize  span. 
The  audience,  in  entirety,  is  in 
full  dress  and  as  one  glances  over  the  vast  panorama, 
it  seems  to  be  but  a  series  of  rising,  undulating,  billowy 
coiffures,  expressed  by  an  array  of  puffs  and  pompa- 
dours, aigrettes  and  plumes,  curls  and  combs.  There  is 
an  apparent  craning  of  necks  and  uncontrollable  won- 
derment at  the  spectacle  of  this  colossal  structure 
around  which  one  can  scarcely  see.  Decorated  through- 
out in  a  delicate  tint,  it  seems  to  make  one  even  more 
conscious  of  the  great,  unlimited  space.  As  I  just  over- 
heard one  reporter  remark:  "It  is  a  unique  experience  to 
sit  with  thousands  of  people  under  one  roof,  listening  to 
the  music  of  an  orchestra  two  blocks  away,  and  yet 
beneath  this  same  roof."  The  only  spot  of  color  is  pro- 
vided in  the  costumes  of  the  ushers,  with  tawny  orange 
breeches  and  flaming  red  waistcoats. 

The  view  of  the  auditorium  is  really  enchanting. 
Before  the  regular  tiers  of  seats  and  boxes  begin,  there 
are  several  hundred  people  sitting  about  at  little  tables, 
chatting  with  friends  and  newly  made  acquaintances. 
Upon  a  circular  platform  in  the  middle  of  the  hall  the 
orchestra  has  just  appeared  and  now  a  slender,  pen- 
sive— nay,  almost  worried-looking  young  man  darts  to 
the  fore  of  the  stage  and  with  a  wave  of  his  baton,  the 
orchestra  blares  forth  the  first  few  bars  of  the  "Beau- 
tiful Blue  Danube."    There  is  thunderous  applause,

so  deafening  that  Herr  Strauss  is  forced  to  turn  and 
bowingly  acknowledge  it  before  he  continues.  In  an- 
other moment  the  famous  Strauss  dance  music  starts 
anew  with  this  picturesque  leader  who  has  more  nearly 
approached  the  ideal  waltz  tempo  than  any  contem- 
porary conductor.  How  he  bends  about  like  a  willow, 
now  stroking  a  few  bars  on  his  own  violin,  now  drawing 
fantastic  waltz  pictures  in  the  air  with  his  fiddle  bow, 
all  of  the  while  keeping  his  feet  in  motion  under  the 
intoxicating  spell  of  his  own  music.  A  hushed  awe  has 
come  over  the  audience  as  the  vibrating  mood  and 
rythm  of  the  music  penetrates  its  depths.  It  is  quite 
apparent  that  they  have  but  little  interest  in  anything 
save  the  Strauss  music  and  it  is  equally  obvious  that 
the  orchestra  renders  it  infinitely  better  than  any  we 
have  ever  been  privileged  to  hear  before. 

It  is  intermission  and  before  the  ballets  appear,  I 
can  observe  some  of  the  notables  in  the  audience.  But 
now  everyone  is  gazing  overhead,  for  the  great  glass 
roof  is  slowly  sliding  aside  and  we  are  sitting  beneath 
a  blue-black  sky  set  with  a  sparkling  field  of  stars.  We 
are  refreshed  by  such  a  gentle  cool  breeze  as  we  sit 
here  enjoying  the  advantages  of  outdoors  and  the  com- 
forts of  the  indoors. 

It  is  said  that  "everyone  who  is  known  to  fame  well 
enough  to  have  his  name  printed  as  a  visitor  to  a 
summer  resort  is  in  the  house  tonight"  but  right  now 
I  recognize  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Chauncey  M.  Depew,  Gen- 
eral Sherman  and  his  daughter,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Herman 
Oelrichs,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Cornelius  Fellowes,  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  August  Belmont,  Jr.,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Charles 
Lanier,  Stanford  White,  Charles  Frohman,  Joseph 
Choate,  and  Charles  Delmonico. 

This,  indeed,  is  an  ideal  place  to  spend  a  warm 
evening — everywhere  around  me  I  hear 
the  safety,  the  convenience,  the  com- 
pleteness, and  perhaps  most  of  all, 
upon  the  comfortableness  of  the  place. 

A  charming,  beautiful  house  of  en- 
tertainment. 

Quite  some  few  of  the  audience 
who  were  interested  only  in  Strauss 
are  taking  an  early  leave,  while  the 
rest  are  gradually  finding  their  seats 
before  the  ballet  begins.  The  first 
ballet  has  presented  in  pantomime 
"Choosing  the  National  Flower"  fol- 
lowed by  "War  and  Peace,"  a  rather 
brilliant  and  animated  spectacle, 
handsomely  costumed,  but  still  the 
anti-climax  of  the  evening.  Although 
the  applause  seems  generous  and 
spontaneous  enough,  the  audience 
is  manifesting  a  readiness  to  leave 
and  after  only  four  minutes  have 
elapsed,  the  Auditorium  is  entirely 
empty. 

I  see  a  large  crowd  congregating  on 
the  sidewalk  and  out  into  the  street 
across  at  the  Fifth  Avenue  Hotel

John  Sullivan 

(JOHN  THE  BAPTIST) 

"Keeper  of  the  Gates" — who  has  opened  and  closed 
the  doors  of  Madison  Square  Garden  for  the  past 
forty  years. 


and  the  resounding  cry  is '  'Bravo !",  "Strauss !",'  'Strauss !" 
Presently  the  doors  leading  to  a  low  balcony  open  and 
Herr  Strauss,  accompanied  by  his  wife  and  daughter,  ap- 
pears. An  impromptu  serenade  is  struck  up  by  a  group 
of  Italian  hand-organs,  audible  only  during  a  lull  in 
the  cheering.  Strauss  is  visibly  overcome  and  at  a  loss 
to  express  his  appreciation  as  he  frequently  turns  to 
his  family  for  the  strength  of  their  support.  This  has 
been  the  climax  of  an  altogether  great  evening  and 
is  something  for  New  Yorkers  to  talk  of  for  weeks  to 
come.  The  precedent  is  established  and  future  events 
cannot  escape  a  criticism  in  comparative  terms. 

During  the  first  week  of  May  in  the  year  1892, 
Madison  Square  Garden  was  selected  as  the  only  fitting 
place  in  which  to  stage  the  Actor's  Fund  Fair.  The 
entire  floor  was  laid  out  as  a  miniature  village  with 
models  of  famous  theatres  of  ancient  London  and 
older  New  York  brought  into  close  proximity.  Here 
one  might  step  from  the  Old  Curiosity  Shop  into  the 
Chatham  Square  Theatre  of  early  New  York,  cross  the 
street  to  the  house  of  Shakespeare  and  from  there  move 
a  few  steps  to  the  Globe  Theatre  and  Dukes'  Theatre 
of  London.  The  opening  night  was  marked  by  an  at- 
tendance of  practically  10,000  people,  all  vieing  for  a 
point  of  vantage  from  which  to  hear  Joseph  Jefferson, 
who  had  promised  to  act  as  Master  of  Ceremonies,  and 
to  see  Edwin  Booth,  then  in  the  hey-day  of  his  career. 
For  one  week,  here  reigned  a  pandemonium  of  frantic 
selling  and  enthusiastic  buying.  True  it  is  that  bar- 
gains were  made  but  trinkets  were  auctioned  off  at  ten 
times  their  worth. 

This,  too,  marked  the  day  of  greater  abandon,  the 
time  when  one  might  manifest  outward  indications  of 
joy  or  sorrow,  the  day  before  it  was  considered  smartly 
fashionable  to  maintain  a  blase  nonchalance  at  the 
sight  of  anything.  Today  our  enthus- 
iasm is  more  conservatively  created 
and  more  sparingly  scattered.  Not 
so  in  the  early  '90's  when  Adelina 
Patti  sang  here  to  three  of  the  larg- 
est audiences  ever  assembled  for  con- 
certs. When  the  Patti  Farewell  Fes- 
tival was  held,  the  immense  Auditori- 
um was  packed  to  the  doors  with 
throngs  of  devout  music-lovers  who 
remained  silently  enthralled  through- 
out the  performance.  But  when 
Patti  bade  her  formal  adieu  from  the 
stage,  there  was  a  vast  sweeping 
surge  of  the  multitudes  toward  the 
platform,  a  last  valiant  attempt  to 
counteract  the  "goodbye  forever," 
and  her  managers  were  forced  to  in- 
tercede and  carry  her  from  the  melee. 

And  so  through  the  years,  Madison 
Square  Garden  has  embodied  the 
joys  and  shrouded  the  tragedies  of 
a  great  people.  Here  new  records 
were  made  and  veteran  champions 
dethroned.

(HOSE  WHO  LOVE  TO  COMPARE  between  the 
merely  apparent  and  the  really  worth  while  will  be 
agreeably  surprised  at  the  marvels  of  this  newly  redecor- 
ated and  completely  refurnished  modern  Broadway  estab- 
lishment. Remodeled  in  entirety,  with  the  installation  of 
the  most  modern  improvements,  the  pioneers  of  Chinese- 
American  restaurants  in  New  York  have  transformed 
YOENGS  into  a  veritable  palace  of  beauty,  comfort  and 
charm.  It  is  in  reality  more  than  a  restaurant  ^  it  is  a

the  thing-to-do;  ski-costume  the 
thing-to-wear.  Wintersport  is  the 
thrill-to-seek ;  Old  Quebec  the  place- 
to-go...It  was  a  wonderful  season  last 
winter.  Even  greater  plans  this  win-

jolly  wintersport  club.  Wintersport 
staff  of  expert  instructors.  All  the 
Quebec  ski  and  snow-shoe  clubs  ex- 
tend "bienvenue."  Lively  programs 
every  day.  Special  festivities  every 
week-end.  Nowhere  such  joy -of -liv- 
ing; nowhere  such  a  wintersport  club.

WHY  JACK  BLUE 
STAGE  DANCING  STUDIOS 

ARE  THE  BEST  IN  THE  WORLD 

IN  THE  first  place.  Mr.  Blue  is  an  originator,  a  song  and  play- 
wright, a  show  and  theatre  owner,  all-round  athlete.  Jack  of 
all  trades  and  a  master  of  dancing.  You  have  seen  stage 
dancing  schools  come  and  go,  but  have  you  noticed  the  Blue 
school  is  still  here,  and  will  be  here  when  they're  all  gone.  There 
must  be  a  reason,  and  there  is  a  reason.  He  has  the  goods,  and 
you  can't  put  a  good  man  down.  He  is  not  a  corporation,  but 
an  individual,  and  fights  his  own  battles.  Don't  compare  any 
other  with  Jack  Blue;  he  has  no  comparison — that  is,  in  the  line 
of  teaching  and  originating  new  songs,  dances,  dialogue  and  stage 
arts.  His  only  rival  is  not  a  teacher — Geo.  M.  Cohan,  the  genius 
whom  Mr.  Blue  was  dancing  master  for  with  Cohan  productions. 
He  has  more  songs  and  dances  of  his  own  than  the  combined 
teachers  of  America,  and  does  not  have  to  hold  back  for  fear  of 
running  out  of  material.  He  can  originate  faster  than  the  fastest 
dancer  can  learn,  which  any  dance  master  in  America  can  tell 
you,  as  they  have  all  studied  under  him  at  their  normal  schools 
and  conventions;  and  those  that  haven't  don't  know  what  they 
have  missed.  The  proof  of  it  is  that  other  schools  are  using  his 
pupils  as  instructors,  which  proves  imitation  is  the  sincerest  of 
flattery;  so  why  not  get  it  right  in  the  first  place  and  get  it  cheaper. 
In  order  to  prove  to  you.  which  you  will  advertise  and  prove  to 
others,  that  satisfaction  is  our  best  advertisement,  Mr.  Blue  is 
making  a 

SPECIAL  OFFER  OF  72  HOURS 
INSTRUCTION  FOR  $50.00 

with  professional  appearance  guaranteed  and  at  least  ten  songs 
and  dances  This  means  professional  solo  dances  and  not  chorus 
dancing  that  some  call  musical  comedy  dancing;  acrobatics  in 
conjunction  with  same.    Call  and  talk  it  over.

The  Reconstruction  Hospital 


What  Is  It? 

THE  RECONSTRUCTION  HOSPITAL  is 
an  organization  for  the  treatment  and  care  of 
Industrial  Accidents  and  Diseases. 

THE  RECONSTRUCTION  HOSPITAL  was 
founded  in  1918  as  a  War  Service  to  treat 
disabled  service  men  by  all  the  modern 
methods  of  rehabilitation  so  successfully  in- 
augurated in  the  World  War. 

THE  RECONSTRUCTION  HOSPITAL  was 
the  first  institution  to  render  this  service  and 
to  continue  it  for  the  great  army  of  industrial 
workers  who  are  constantly  exposed  to  the 
hazards  of  accidents  and  occupational  dis- 
eases. 

THE  RECONSTRUCTION  HOSPITAL  is 
an  institution  which  aims  to  put  the  injured 
industrial  worker  back  on  his  job  in  the 
shortest  possible  time  and  in  the  best  pos- 
sible shape. 


Fracture  Frames  that  Help  to  Repair  Broken  Bones 


THE  RECONSTRUCTION  HOSPITAL 
invites  you  to  inspect  its  methods  and  equip- 
ment at  any  time  and  learn  of  its  work  and 
its  need  for  continuance  and  expansion. 


What  Does  It  Do? 

THE  RECONSTRUCTION  HOSPITAL  fur- 
nishes Uninterrupted  Treatment  from  First 
Aid  and  Operative  measures  through  all  the 
stages  of  physical  treatment  combined  with 
Occupation  Therapy  or  manual  training. 

THE  RECONSTRUCTION  HOSPITAL 
maintains  active  Operative  and  Ward  Service, 
and  a  large  Outpatient  Clinic. 

THE  RECONSTRUCTION  HOSPITAL 
maintains  an  Emergency  Service,  ready  at  all 
times,  day  or  night. 

THE  RECONSTRUCTION  HOSPITAL 
maintains  a  highly  successful  Special  Frac- 
ture Service. 

THE  RECONSTRUCTION  HOSPITAL 
maintains  a  Night  Clinic  for  those  who  can 
do  some  work  during  the  day,  but  need  further 
treatment  to  lessen  their  disability. 

THE  RECONSTRUCTION  HOSPITAL, 
through  its  Social  Service  Department,  en- 
courages a  spirit  of  hopefulness  and  ambition 
in  its  patients  to  the  end  that  they  may  not 
lapse  into  the  usual  mental  attitude  of  the 
hopeless  and  dependent  permanent  cripple. 

THE  RECONSTRUCTION  HOSPITAL 
maintains  an  Occupation  Therapy  Depart- 
ment where  patients  do  work  which  is  not  only 
helpful  in  restoring  strength  and  power ;  but  by 
which  they  produce  useful  saleable  articles, 
thus  earning  even  during  convalescence. 

THE  RECONSTRUCTION  HOSPITAL 
maintains  an  Industrial  Clinic  for  the  treat- 
ment and  study  of  cases  of  Industrial  Pois- 
oning and  Industrial  Diseases,  conducting 
•  research  in  this  constantly  growing  field. 

THE  RECONSTRUCTION  HOSPITAL 
affords  courses  of  instruction  for  students 
and  graduated  physicians  and  surgeons  in 
Industrial  Medicine  and  Surgery.

Why  Is  It? 


BECAUSE — In  spite  of  the  enormous  sums  spent  for  safety

the  present  structure,  the  third  to  bear  the  name  made 
famous  by  its  predecessors.  The  present  Garden  is  the 
conception  of  the  two  master  showmen,  Mr.  George  L. 
Rickard  and  Mr.  John  Ringling.  In  its  appointments 
as  to  both  safety  and  comfort  for  its  patrons,  it  is 
the  last  word  in  engineering  skill. 

The  cost  of  the  project  was  approximately  $5,000,000. 
The  building  extends  from  49th  to  50th  Street,  125 
feet  west  of  Eighth  Avenue,  and  is  375  feet  long.  It 
was  designed  by  the  well-known  theatre  architect, 
Thomas  W.  Lamb,  with  James  Stewart  &  Company, 
Inc.,  as  contractors.  Thirteen  entrances  are  distributed 
at  both  sides  of  the  building  and  also  on  Eighth  Avenue. 
Altogether  350  lineal  feet  of  exits  are  so  arranged  that 
the  entire  building  can  be  cleared  in  five  minutes. 

Ground  was  broken  on  the  16th  of  February,  1925, 
and  the  building  completed  nine  months  later  to  the 
day.  To  accomplish  this  remarkable  constructive  feat, 
it  was  necessary  to  consider  the  size  of  the  operation — 
the  largest  of  its  kind  ever  undertaken;  the  limited 
time  at  our  disposal ;  the  varied  nature  of  the  work,  and 


the  engineering  skill  necessary.  With  these  rigorous  re- 
quirements in  mind,  contractors  were  selected  as  to 
their  ability  to  expeditiously  execute  their  work  and  to 
cooperate  with  the  owner  and  each  other  on  the  entire 
installation.  It  is  a  pleasure  to  give  testimony  to  the 
fact  that  the  various  contractors  whose  names  appear 
on  following  pages  of  this  book,  not  only  cooperated 
with  the  owners,  their  co-workers  and  other  contractors, 
but  executed  their  work  with  the  utmost  efficiency. 

The  main  auditorium  is  most  impressive,  being  200 
feet  wide  and  375  feet  long  and  affords  unobstructed 
view  for  19,000  persons  for  whom  accommodations  are 
provided.  The  arena  floor  proper  is  110  feet  wide  by 
240  feet  long.  Not  a  single  column  is  used  in  the  main 
arena,  the  immense  roof  being  carried  on  trusses  span- 
ning from  49th  to  50th  Street,  weighing  60  tons  each, 
which,  together  with  the  3,400  tons  of  steel  members  in 
the  structure,  were  installed  by  Taylor-Fichter  Steel 
Construction  Company. 

The  Exposition  Hall,  located  under  the  auditorium, 
has  a  clear  space  of  52,000  square  feet  available  for  en- 
tertainments or  exhibitions.  An  automatic  sprinkler 
system  is  provided  throughout.  Water,  power,  light  and 
gas  connections  are  located  at  each  pier  and  pilaster.

scribed,  special  provision  has  been  made  to  accommodate 
exhibitors  requiring  an  exhaust  system  for  the  gasses 
from  oil-burning  apparatus  or  internal  combustion 
engines. 

The  Arena  and  that  portion  of  the  Exposition  Hall 
devoted  to  dancing,  together,  provide  the  largest  dance 
floor  area  on  the  continent — 55,000  square  feet.  These 
floors  are  of  pink  Tennessee,  highly  polished  terrazzo 
which,  when  properly  prepared,  provide  an  ideal  floor 
for  dancing.  The  building  is  strictly  fireproof  through- 
out, and  does  not  contain  a  single  piece  of  lumber.  It 
is  unquestionably  the  world's  greatest  exhibition  forum. 

One  of  the  outstanding  features  of  the  new  Arena  will 
be  the  ice  hockey  and  skating  rink.  With  a  skating 
surface  of  186x85  feet  the  world's  greatest  hockey 
teams  and  fastest  skaters  will  use  the  rink  for  National 
and  International  contests  of  speed  and  skill.  The  most 
scientific  and  modern  freezing  plant  has  been  installed, 
including  twelve  miles  of  piping,  and  an  ice  surface  one 
inch  thick  can  be  provided  in  eight  hours  and  removed 
in  six. 

The  magnitude  of  the  task  is  shown  by  the  flexibility 
required  in  a  three-day  section  of  the  new  arena  sched- 
ule which  calls  for  boxing  on  Friday,  December  18; 
hockey  play  on  Saturday,  December  19,  and  a  grand 
concert  on  Sunday,  December  20. 

The  ventilation  and  the  air  conditioning  system  was 
designed  to  cope  with  a  number  of  different  conditions 
which  present  themselves;  when  the  building  is  used 
for  hockey,  during  which  time  the  ventilation  must  be 
controlled  in  spite  of  the  large  ice  surface;  boxing 
matches,  at  which  time  the  auditorium  affords  a  maxi- 
mum seating  capacity;  bicycle  races,  when  the  audi- 
torium will  be  occupied  continuously  for  six  days;  cir- 
cuses, when  animal  odors  must  be  eliminated;  as  well 
as  conventions  during  summer  and  winter;  cinameto- 
graph  and  operatic  performances,  and  dancing.  The 
functioning  of  the  ventilating  system  is  assisted  by  the 
employment  of  ozonizers,  airwashers  and  filters  which 
will  deodorize  the  air,  removing  dust  and  dirt  particles 
as  well  as  the  smoke. 

Ventilation  is  of  the  utmost  importance  as  health  in- 
surance to  our  patrons  which  is  assured  for  the  arena 
ventilating  system  consists  of  a  combined  outside  and 
recirculated  air  supply  which  provide  a  minimum  of 
400,000  cubic  feet  of  filtered  and  ozonized  air  per  min- 
ute; equalling  21  cubic  feet  of  air  per  minute  per  per- 
son. This  very  liberal  supply  of  air  is  delivered  by  eight 
large  fans  located  in  the  attic  space,  each  having  a 
capacity  of  50,000  cubic  feet  of  air  per  minute.  The 
air,  after  being  filtered  and  ozonized,  can  be  either  re- 
circulated into  the  building  through  the  eight  supply 
fan  rooms,  or  exhausted  from  the  building  by  other 
fans. 

The  ventilating  system  of  the  Exposition  Hall  will 
provide  at  least  six  complete  changes  of  air  per  hour. 
Here  again  there  is  a  combined  outside  and  recirculated 


air  supply,  with  air  filters,  dehumidifiers  and  ozonizers, 
so  that  the  atmosphere  in  the  large  show  room  is  under 
the  same  excellent  conditions  of  control  as  that  in  the 
arena.  Ventilating  systems  entirely  separate  from  the 
main  ventilating  units  have  been  provided  for  all  the 
kitchens,  toilets  and  rest  rooms  throughout  the  building. 

In  order  that  the  temperature  in  all  portions  of  the 
building  might  be  constantly  under  manual  as  well  as 
automatic  control,  there  have  been  installed  control 
rooms  on  the  arena  floor  and  in  the  Exposition  Hall. 
At  twenty-four  points  in  the  arena  and  at  fifteen  points 
in  the  Exposition  Hall  are  located  temperature  record- 
ing instruments.  These  instruments  are  such  that  the 
temperature  at  other  points  of  location  is  recorded  in 
the  control  rooms.  From  these  control  rooms  also,  the 
speed  of  the  motors  driving  the  fans,  the  dampers  con- 
trolling the  fresh  and  the  recirculating  air,  can  all  be 
controlled. 

There  are  five  225  H.P.  Fitzgibbons  high-pressure 
boilers,  feed  water  heater,  duplicate  vacuum  return 
pumps  and  boiler  feed  pumps,  as  well  as  a  vacuum  ash 
removal  system  which  eliminates  all  the  handling  of 
ashes  inside  the  building.  The  boilers  supply  steam  to 
the  three  300  H.P.  turbines  driving  the  refrigerating 
machinery.  The  low-pressure  exhaust  steam  from  these 
turbines  or  steam  direct  from  the  boilers  to  pressure 
reducing  valves  is  led  to  the  many  units  of  Aerofin 
heaters  and  the  radiators  throughout  the  building.  The 
condensed  steam  from  these  heaters  and  radiators  is 
returned  to  the  boilers  by  the  vacuum  method. 

In  addition  to  the  manual  control  of  the  temperature 
and  humidity  previously  described,  the  temperature  in 
all  parts  of  the  building  will  be  automatically  controlled 
and  maintained  at  any  predetermined  degree  between 
65  and  70  regardless  of  the  outside  temperature,  except 
when  the  building  is  being  used  for  ice  skating  or  hockey 
games,  when  a  lower  temperature  will  be  maintained. 
The  heating  and  ventilating  system  was  designed  by 
Dwight  D.  Kimball  and  installed  by  E.  G.  Woolfolk  & 
Company,  both  of  New  York  City. 

All  that  has  been  said  of  ventilation  is  especially  true 
of  cooling  during  the  summer  season.  The  temperature 
in  the  auditorium  will  be  ten  degrees  lower  than  the 
outside  temperature  at  any  time  during  the  summer. 
In  order  to  accomplish  this,  the  Carrier  Engineering 
Corporation,  the  leading  specialists  in  the  field  of  air 
conditioning,  installed  a  special  system  to  cool  the  air 
and  to  reduce  the  humidity.  This  reduction  in  humidity 
is  just  as  important  as  a  reduction  in  temperature.  In 
this  case,  however,  the  dehumidification  is  produced  by 
drawing  the  air  through  finely  atomized  sprays  of  re- 
frigerated water.  The  temperature  of  this  water  is  suf- 
ficiently low  to  cause  condensation  of  the  moisture  in 
the  air.  The  quantity  of  this  relatively  dry,  cold  air 
which  is  delivered  to  the  auditorium  is  so  regulated  that 
when  mixed  with  a  supply  of  warmer  air,  ideal  condi- 
tions of  physical  comfort  are  produced.  After  passing

Garden 


IT  IS  a  significant  fact  that  the  Official 
Opening  of  the  New  Madison  Square 
Garden  should  be  celebrated  with  a 
Hockey  Game.  Individually,  Hockey  is 
the  fastest  and  most  thrilling  exhibition 
on  the  entire  calendar  of  sports,  but  be- 
hind the  success  of  every  team,  must  be 
built,  the  finest  system  of  co-ordination 
in  sport. 

In  the  construction  and  erection  of  the 
Ornamental  Iron  Work  in  Madison 
Square  Garden,  The  Williams  Iron  Works 
was  governed  by  the  spirit  of  the  Hockey 
Game.  Every  mechanic  on  the  job  did 
his  bit  and  the  executives  of  our  organi- 
zation take  a  pardonable  pride  in  the  suc- 
cessful completion  of  this  gigantic  job  in 
record  time.

over  the  audience,  the  air  is  drawn  through  a  multitude 
of  registers,  whence  it  is  taken  to  be  repu  rifled  and  re- 
cooled,  or  is  discharged  out  of  doors. 

Refrigeration  has  been  introduced,  not  only  to  cool 
the  water  for  the  spray  chambers,  where  the  air  is 
cooled,  but  to  freeze  the  water  with  which  the  entire 
floor  of  the  area  is  flooded  when  the  ice  rink  is  in  oper- 
ation. This  portion  of  the  work  was  designed  by  the 
Funk  and  Wilcox  Co.,  engineers,  Boston,  Mass.  The 
freezing  of  the  water  is  accomplished  by  circulating 
brine  at  a  low  temperature  through  some  twelve  miles 
of  pipe  imbedded  in  the  arena  floor.  For  these  com- 
bined uses,  a  set  of  three  centrifugal  refrigeration  ma- 
chines was  installed.  These  refrigeration  machines  are 
unique  in  that  they  operate  under  conditions  of  vacuum, 
and  the  possibility  of  outward  leaks  and  obnoxious  odors 
to  the  building  is  entirely  eliminated.  The  refrigerant 
is  a  harmless  liquid,  known  as  "Dieline,"  and  offers  no 
hazard  whatever  to  the  occupants  of  a  public  building. 
This  was  a  very  important  consideration  in  selecting 
refrigeration  equipment  for  a  building  such  as  the 
Garden. 

To  summarize  regarding  ventilation,  no  expense  has 
been  spared  in  providing  this  new  civic  monument  with 
the  facilities  for  maintaining,  at  all  seasons  of  the  year 
and  on  all  occasions,  the  ideal  condition  of  temperature, 
humidity  and  air  purity  for  the  health-giving  physical 
comfort  of  the  thousands  of  spectators  and  performers 
who  will  assemble  in  this  building. 

The  Western  Electric  "Public  Address  System'*  which 
has  been  installed  will  distribute  sound,  uniformly  and 
clearly  over  the  entire  auditorium.  Until  the  advent  of 
the  Public  Address  System  it  had  been  practically  im- 
possible in  large  auditoriums  and  convention  halls  for 
the  voice  to  reach  all  parts  with  equal  intensity. 

Practically  all  parts  of  the  building  are  linked  by 


means  of  a  system  of  automatic  intercommunicating 
telephones,  which  is  almost  indispensable  to  the  effi- 
cient operation  of  a  building  of  such  vast  proportions. 

The  power  and  lighting  requirements  of  the  building 
are  served  by  two  direct  current  and  by  two  alternating 
current  supplies.  The  lighting  for  the  arena  is  on  a 
balanced  3-wire  1 10-220  volt  direct  current  distributing 
system.  The  Exposition  Hall  lighting  is  1 10  volts  alter- 
nating current.  All  motor  circuits  in  the  building  are 
220  volts  direct  current,  while  two  and  three  phase 
power  is  available  for  exhibition  purposes. 

Main  switchboards  with  necessary  circuit  breakers, 
meters,  etc.,  are  located  in  the  basement  on  each  of  the 
current  supply  systems.  From  these  boards  the  current 
is  fed  to  the  various  panel  boxes  throughout  the  build- 
ing. Special  readily  accessible  panels  have  been  in- 
stalled to  control  the  exit  lighting  circuits  which  are 
normally  fed  by  direct  current.  There  has  been  in- 
stalled a  transfer  switch  which  instantly  and  auto- 
matically cuts  the  exit  circuits  over  into  alternating 
current,  should  the  direct  current  supply  fail.  When 
the  direct  current  supply  is  resumed,  the  circuits  are 
instantly  cut  back. 

For  the  protection  of  the  public  as  well  as  the  build- 
ing, there  has  been  installed  the  National  District  Tele- 
graph Company's  watchman  and  fire-alarm  signal-box 
service,  with  twenty-five  stations  throughout  the  build- 
ing; and  the  Holmes  Electric  Protective  Service  for  the 
protection  of  the  box  offices. 

Restaurants  are  located  in  the  building  adjacent  to 
the  Exposition  Hall  and  club  rooms,  for  the  accommo- 
dation of  patrons. 

The  executive  offices  are  located  alongside  49th  Street 
on  the  first  floor.  The  Club  Room,  whose  members 
comprise  the  best  known  sportsmen  of  New  York,  is 
located  on  the  50th  Street  side.

The  New  York  State 
Athletic  Commission 

/  he  New  York  State  Athletic  Commission  was  appointed  September, 
c/  1920,  following  the  passage  of  the  Walker  Law  by  the  Legislature  of  that 
year.     The  Walker  Law,  with  the  exception  of  minor  changes,  has  remained 
unchanged  since  that  date  and  has  been  used  as  a  model  for  the  passage  of  laws 
in  other  states. 

Under  the  Walker  Law  decisions  are  given  and  bouts  limited  to  fifteen 
rounds.  The  decisions  are  given  by  two  judges  and  a  referee,  the  majority  vote 
controlling.  In  case  both  the  judges  and  the  referee  disagree  the  decision  be- 
comes automatically  a  draw. 

The  Walker  Law  gives  the  Commission  complete  control  over  boxing  and 
wrestling. 

All  clubs  holding  boxing  matches  must  be  regularly  incorporated  under 
the  Business  Law  of  the  State  of  New  York  and  be  licensed  by  the  licensing  com- 
mittee of  the  Commission.  All  boxers,  seconds,  managers,  referees,  judges, 
timekeepers,  matchmakers,  and  physicians  must  also  be  licensed  by  the  licensing 
committee  and  a  fee  is  charged  in  each  case  varying  from  $750  for  clubs  in  large 
cities  to  five  dollars  for  boxers  and  seconds.  This  is  an  annual  license  and  must 
be  renewed  each  year.    There  are  thirty  clubs  licensed  at  the  present  time. 

Through  the  license  and  provisions  of  the  law  the  Commission  is  able  to 
have  complete  control  over  everyone  connected  with  the  sport  and  violations  of 
the  rules  of  the  Commission  are  punished  by  suspension  or  revocation  of  the 
license. 

The  Commission  endeavors  principally  to  see  that  the  clubs  are  properly 
conducted,  that  every  patron  receives  the  seat  for  which  he  paid,  also  that  the 
physical  conditions  of  the  clubs  are  kept  as  they  should  be,  the  same  standard 
being  required  as  for  theatres  or  other  places  of  public  assembly.  The  Commis- 
sion also  gives  close  supervision  over  all  bouts  and  its  efforts  are  directed  to  see 
that  there  are  no  uneven  contests  allowed  and  that  the  contestants  honestly 
compete. 

The  income  from  boxing  in  the  State  of  New  York  has  been  large;  the 
total  receipts  in  the  five  years  that  the  law  has  been  in  operation  have  been  over 
a  million  dollars,  this  being  derived  from  the  five  per  cent  tax  at  the  boxing  exhi- 
bitions and  the  license  fees;  the  expenses  of  operating  the  Commission  for  the 
same  period  approximately  $280,000,  leaving  a  net  profit  to  the  state  of  nearly 
a  million  dollars. 

The  present  Commission  consists  of,  the  Athletic  Commission,  James  A. 
Farley,  chairman,  William  Muldoon,  George  E.  Brower;  the  Licensing  Com-

THE  BUILDER 

Dedicated  to  Tex  Rickard 
By  Walter  Trumbull 
New  York  Evening  Post 

After  me  cometh  a  builder. 
Tell  him,  I,  too,  have  known. 

— Kipling 

"Where  there  is  no  vision,  the  people  perish." 

From  sun-baked  desert  to  frozen  streams, 
There  wandered  one  who  was  wont  to  cherish 

Deep  in  his  heart,  his  dreams. 

He  braved  the  lands  where  the  North  winds  bluster, 
The  crowded  places  where  millions  dwell : 

Since  he,  for  dreams  of  a  golden  luster, 
Needed  materiel. 

To  earth  the  gaze  of  the  others  tended. 

They  were  too  cautious  to  lift  their  eyes; 
But  he,  a  builder,  saw  visions  splendid 

Tower  toward  the  distant  skies. 

And — somewhere  out  on  the  trail  he  learned  it — 
The  work  of  the  heart,  the  hands  can  do. 

So  he  planned  and  built  and  knew  he  earned  it ; 
The  dream  he  made  come  true. 

From  the  older  Garden  the  ghosts  came  drifting, 
Ghosts  of  the  great,  who  had  long  been  mute, 

To  face  the  builder,  their  dim  hands  lifting 
In  tribute  and  salute.

Madison  Square  Garden — the  Looking  Glass  of 
New  York. 

The  Mirror  of  The  City;  that  is  what  the  old  Gar- 
den was,  what  the  new  Garden  will  be. 

The  Looking  Glass  of  Little  Old  New  York,  reflect- 
ing its  life,  its  modes,  its  moods,  its  habits,  its  joys, 
its  sadness,  its  problems,  its  comings  and  goings. 

Under  the  shadows  of  the  old  Garden  that  inimit- 
able teller  of  tales,  O.  Henry,  sat  and  watched  the 
Four  Million  pass  by,  cupping  his  ears  to  catch  the 
Voice  of  The  City. 


Ah,  but  had  he  gone  inside — 

Roosevelt  thundering  for  the  square  deal,  the  silver- 
tongued  Bryan  weaving  his  spell,  Smith  trumpeting 
together  his  cohorts,  John  L.  Sullivan  swings  his 
mighty  fist,  Gotch  grapples  on  the  mat,  little  Jimmy 
Michaels  whirls  madly  by  awheel,  Littlewood  walks 
go-as-you-please,  Longboat  runs,  Kraenzlein  jumps, 
Thompson  hurdles  and  Sheridan  throws  the  weights. 
Hark  to  the  golden  voiced  songbirds.  There  King 
Horse  reigns,  Fashion  parades,  Society  poses.  There 
Trade  displays  his  wares,  Beauty  her  charms.  There 
Tragedy  stalks,  Charity  calls,  Terpsicore  dances, 
Momus  laughs.  Phineas  T.  Barnum,  Ringling  Brothers, 
the  Circus,  joy  for  young  and  old;  balls,  dances,  trade 
shows,  political  caucuses,  deaths,  weddings. 

The  Voice  of  The  City.  Ah,  there  is  where  O.  Henry 
would  have  caught  it,  laughter  of  the  children,  plaints 
of  the  elders.  New  York  singing,  sobbing,  pleading, 
protesting,  hissing,  cheering.  New  York  in  all  her 
varying  moods. 

Old  Madison  Square  Garden — combined  forum, 
sports  arena,  assembling  place  of  old  New  York. 

New  Madison  Square  Garden,  bigger,  better,  more 
in  keeping  with  the  times — rendezvous  of  both  the 
Four  Million  and  the  Four  Hundred  of  this  and  future 
eras. 

Madison  Square  Garden — the  Looking  Glass  of 
New  York. 

By  JOE  VILA 
Sports  Editor  of  The  Sun 

The  passing  of  Madison  Square  Garden  is  mourned 
by  followers  of  sport.  It  is  only  natural  that  the  de- 
molition of  this  landmark  of  sport,  where  so  many 
famous  boxing  bouts  and  other  sport  events  took  place 
should  arouse  keen  regret.  Yet  the  fact  that  there  is  a 
new  Garden,  a  bigger  and  better  Garden  and  one  that 
will  outdo  the  old  in  the  matter  of  sports,  more  than 
makes  up  for  this  regret. 

As  a  devotee  of  sports  for  more  than  30  years  I  have 
many  happy  recollections  of  the  old  Garden.  Still,  I 
do  not  hesitate  to  say  that  the  new  structure  repre- 
sents a  vast  improvement  over  the  old.  The  Garden 
was  rather  a  "white  elephant"  until  Tex  Rickard  took 
charge  there  in  1920.  Had  not  Rickard  stepped  in  when 


Type  of  iHeywood-Wakefield  Seat  Installed  in  East  and  West  Ends  ot 
Madison  Square  Garden 

"  PAST— AND  FUTURE 

THOUSANDS  mourned  the  passing  of  the  old  Madison  Square 
Garden.  Yet  instead  of  the  old  structure  has  arisen  an- 
other— greater,  more  magnificent,  more  permanent  than  the 
old — to  transmit  through  the  coming  years  the  traditions  of 
its  predecessor. 

So  with  Heywood- Wakefield  Company,  builder  of  more  than 
half  of  the  entire  seating  for  the  new  Garden.  The  original 
company,  started  in  1826,  is  but  a  memory,  yet  its  ideals  of 
quality  and  service  are  now  as  essentially  a  part  of  the  present 
great  organization  as  they  were  at  the  outset.  These  ideals 
have  brought  Heywood- Wakefield  to  its  present  rank  among  the 
country's  greatest  builders  of  seating,  and  will  continue  to  play 
a  major  part  in  its  future  existence. 

In  all  of  the  big  league  baseball  parks  save  one,  at  famous 
race  tracks,  in  many  of  the  best  theatres  throughout  the  land, 
and  in  countless  other  cases,  Heywood-Wakefield  seating  is  daily 
and  yearly  demonstrating  its  excellence.

he  did,  the  old  Garden  probably  would  have  been  razed 
several  years  ago. 

Rickard's  success  with  the  old  Garden  was  such  as 
to  guarantee  that  he  will  make  the  new  amphitheatre 
what  it  was  designed  to  be,  the  greatest  temple  of  sport 
in  the  world. 

By  PAUL  GALLICO 
Sports  Editor,  New  York  News 

They  carted  away  bricks  and  rubbish  and  slabs  of 
stone  and  twisted  steel,  I  suppose,  thinking  if  they 
stopped  to  do  so,  that  they  were  tearing  down  Madison 
Square  Garden.  The  task  they  did  was,  in  a  way, 
absurdly  incomplete.  The  old  Garden  still  stands.  No 
one  has  attempted  to  seek  out  and  destroy  those  who 
knew  and  loved  that  spot.  Memory  must  be  obliterated 
and  those  who  inhabited  the  famous  pile  must  mingle 
with  the  dust  of  its  crumbled  cement  before  it  can  be 
said  to  have  passed. 

Tex  Rickard  now  has  a  grand,  new,  shiny  place 
where  everything  he  had  before  will  be  bigger  and 
better.  I  suppose  the  thing  to  do  will  be  to  forget  the 
old  Garden  in  the  splendors  of  the  new.  Will  it  be  the 
same?  Will  it  be  different?  Who  can  tell?  But  I  sus- 
pect it  will  be  a  long  long  time  before  the  old  Garden 
is  destroyed  from  the  memory  and  traditions  of  Old 
New  York.

All  hail  to  Madison  Square  Garden,  the  greatest 
boxing  centre  in  the  world. 

All  hail  to  the  genius— Tex  Rickard — who  conceived 
the  idea  of  building  a  sports  arena  of  such  gigantic  pro- 
portions, an  arena  which  stands  forth  as  a  monument 
to  the  sport  of  ages — boxing! 

Boxing  was  at  its  lowest  level  when  Rickard  came 
forth  from  the  West  to  announce  to  a  gathering  of 
reporters  in  the  Biltmore  that  he  had  visions  of  mak- 
ing Madison  Square  Garden  a  CENTRE  of  AMERI- 
CA'S SPORTS  ACTIVITIES,  and  that  he  had  leased 
the  Garden  for  ten  years  in  order  that  he  might  develop 
this  vision  into  a  reality. 

That  he  succeeded  despite  obstacles  which  would 
have  forced  persons  with  less  grit,  less  determination 
and  fighting  spirit  to  go  under,  is  a  credit  to  this  man's 
wonderful  ability  in  the  showman's  game,  the  ability  of 
a  master  artist  in  the  field  of  promotion.  Tex  Rickard 
has  gained  his  just  reward  in  the  form  of  a  great  monu- 
ment— the  Madison  Square  Garden. 

By  LEN  WOOSTER 
Sports  Editor,  Brooklyn  Daily  Times 

As  one  marvels  at  the  magnificence  the  new  Madison 
Square  Garden  unfolds — there  never  was  anything  to 
compare  with  this  arena  dedicated  to  sports  in  this  or 
any  other  country — he  pauses  to  ponder  what  the 
future  holds  for  the  crowning  achievement  of  Tex 
Rickard's  notable  promotorial  career. 

Rickard  does  things  on  a  big  scale.  Naturally  one 
visualizes  the  greatest  line  of  sporting  events  New 
York,  and  that  means  America,  ever  has  known.  Al- 


ready a  higher  standard  has  been  set  for  the  six-day 
bicycle  race.  Boxing  should  take  another  forward  step 
under  the  refining  influence  of  this  new  setting  and 
hockey  regain  the  popularity  it  once  enjoyed  in  the 
time  of  the  immortal  Hobey  Baker.  Eventually,  too, 
the  National  Horse  Show  will  be  sheltered  in  the  new 
temple  of  sport  and  when  it  is  it  will  step  out  on  the 
tanbark  as  in  the  halcyon  days  of  twenty  or  twenty- 
five  years  ago. 

By  WILBUR  WOOD 
The  New  York  Sun 

Parting  with  an  old  friend  is  one  of  the  saddest 
experiences  that  falls  to  the  lot  of  man.  Making  a  new 
friend  is  something  over  which  one  may  rejoice  exceed- 
ingly. That  tells,  for  myself  and  other  lovers  of  sports, 
the  story  of  the  passing  of  the  old  Garden  and  the 
birth  of  the  new. 

Every  stick  and  stone  of  the  old  Garden,  now  but  a 
memory,  was  steeped  in  sporting  lore.  Champions  were 
made  and  broken  there.  Many  a  human  drama  was 
enacted  there  before  the  eyes  of  tense  thousands.  But 
I  shall  leave  it  to  others  to  tell  of  these  things. 

The  new  Garden,  a  veritable  palace  of  sport,  is  cer- 
tain to  be  the  foremost  indoor  arena  of  the  world.  It 
marks  the  progress  of  sport  in  a  very  substantial  way. 
Thrilling  sceneswill  be  enacted  there  in  the  years  tocome. 

The  new  Garden  stands  as  a  monument  to  the  pro- 
motorial genius  of  Tex  Rickard.  So  did  the  old  Gar- 
den, for  that  matter,  as  it  was  not  until  Rickard  took 
charge  there  that  the  old  Garden  became  what  it  should 
have  been  from  the  start.  With  the  world's  greatest 
promoter  at  the  head  of  the  world's  greatest  arena, 
Father  Knickerbocker  may  look  forward  with  every 
confidence  to  wonderful  years  in  sport. 

By  SAM  TAUB 
New  York  Telegraph 

Madison  Square  Garden,  that  has  gone  and  the  new 
one  that  has  arisen  to  take  its  place,  holds  a  spot  in 
the  heart  of  every  New  Yorker  as  no  other  institution 
does.  It  would  hardly  be  fair  to  classify  it  as  merely 
being  a  Gotham  playground.  It's  scope  is  national  and, 
from  the  interest  aroused  in  sporting  events  and  other 
affairs  staged  within  its  portals,  the  eyes  of  the  entire 
world  will  always  be  focused  on  it. 

Memories  of  the  old  Garden  will  always  linger;  the 
arena  on  Madison  Avenue,  where  the  fans  seemed 
frozen  stiff  the  night  Richie  Mitchell  knocked  Cham- 
pion Benny  Leonard  down  in  the  sensational  first  round 
of  their  great  bout  in  1921  and  where  Jack  Delaney 
three  years  later  figured  in  his  great  victory  over  Cham- 
pion Paul  Berlenbach. 

The  fans  all  have  hopes  of  witnessing  great  ring 
battles  and  other  notable  events  in  the  beautiful  struc- 
ture which  has  supplanted  the  old  playhouse.  The  New 
Madison  Square  Garden  is  a  lasting  monument  to  our 
fair  city  and  speaks  volumes  for  the  success  of  Promoter 
Tex  Rickard,  whose  activities  preserved  the  old  arena 
for  several  years  longer  than  the  owners  had  wished.

THE  unsightly  radiatormay  now 
be  disguised  by  covering  it  with  a 
beautiful  Steel  Art  Cabinet.  The  ra- 
diator, that  ugly  duckling  of  an  other- 
wise perfectly  appointed  room,  has  been  tolerated, 
only  because  of  its  absolute  necessity.  It  can  now 
be  made  to  harmonize  and  blend  with  the  color 
scheme  of  any  room,  office,  or  chamber. 

These  Cabinets  not  only  hide  the  ugly  radiator 
and  transforms  it  into  a  thing  of  beauty,  but  they 
are  a  perfect  protection  for  the  walls  and  draperies, 
keeping  them  free  from  dust  and  dirt  so  common 
where  radiators  are  used.  In  addition  to  these  fea- 
tures, they  humidify  the  air,  a  factor  which  is  very 
essential  to  health,  and  which  has  been  sadly 
neglected  until  the  present  time.

Some  Day  you  IsM  cNged 
cA  beautiful  23oo/c  ^ 

To  every  man  there  comes  a  time  when  he  feels  that  he  would  like 
to  get  out  something  distinctive  and  beautiful  in  the  form  of  a  book. 

This  book  may  be  either  for  his  business,  his  club  or  some  char- 
itable organization,  for  the  securing  of  money,  for  some  worth  while 
purpose,  or  to  preserve  pleasant  memories  of  business  or  social  events. 

With  the  aid  of  our  staff  we  conceived  this  Madison  Square  Garden 
Historical  Book,  wrote  the  copy,  did  the  art  work,  the  typographical 
lay-outs  and  the  printing. 

When  the  time  comes  that  you  would  like  to  have  such  an  artis- 
tic book  created  for  your  business,  your  club  or  some  charitable  organi- 
zation, we  will  be  glad  to  co-operate  with  you  to  the  full  extent  of 
our  many  years'  experience  in  doing  this  kind  of  work. 


The  ingenuity  of  man  has  created  miracles. 
He  has  learned  to  span  rivers  with  threads  of 
steel;  he  has  built  cities  whose  buildings 
pierce  the  clouds;  he  can  supply  the  desire 
for  most  anything,  be  it  a  ship  that  sails 
under  the  sea  or  a  ship  that  floats  in  the  air 
— his  greatest  defeat  is  Selling. 

A  great  captain  of  industry  recently  said 
that  it  cost  more  to  sell  America's  products 
than  it  does  to  make  them. 

One  of  the  trends  of  business  promotion 
today  is  the  growing  use  of  direct-mail  adver- 
tising. The  power  of  the  printed  word  in 
coordination  with  the  efficiency  of  the  post- 


office  is  producing  a  new  type  of  salesmanship 
that  is  moving  millions  of  dollars  worth  of 
merchandise  from  the  factories  to  the  dealers' 
shelves  and  from  the  dealers'  shelves  direct 
into  the  homes  of  the  people. 

Some  of  the  most  successful  business  con- 
cerns are  using  direct-by-mail  advertising  to 
do  the  missionary  work  in  preparing  the  dealer 
for  the  salesman's  call. 

If  selling  is  a  problem  in  your  business 
either  through  the  jobber,  the  dealer  or  direct 
to  the  consumer,  we  would  welcome  the 
opportunity  to  lay  before  you  some  interest- 
ing direct-mail  advertising  plans. 


Our  organization  is  so  equipped  that  we  can  handle  a  direct-by-mail 
advertising  campaign  from  start  to  finish.  We  will  write  the  copy, 
do  the  art  work,  the  printing  and  typographical  arrangement  thus 
relieving  you  of  all  details.  May  we  demonstrate  what  we  can  do  j or  you7.

—by  JOHN  RUSKIN 

"All  works  of  quality  must  bear  a  price 
in  proportion  to  the  skill,  time, 
pense,  and  risk  attending  their  inven- 
tion, execution,  and  manufacture. 
Those  things  called  4 'dear"  are,  when 
justly  estimated,  the  cheapest.  Most 
times  they  are  attended  with  much 
less  profit  to  the  builder  than  those 
things  which  everybody  calls  "cheap." 
Beautiful  forms  and  compositions  of 
any  character  are  not  made  by  chance, 
nor  can  they  ever  in  any  material  be 
made  at  small  expense.  A  composition 
for  cheapness,  and  not  for  excellence 
of  workmanship,  is  the  most  frequent 
and  certain  cause  for  rapid  decay  and 
destruction  of  arts  and  manufacture/'
